24. Target

Paul was talking with the boys whilst Vesper stayed back and spoke with the Director of the ASA in the states.

Paul was talking with the guys about the new security measures they will be having, due to the fact that the last director was the mole, and everyone knew about their private schedules. They will be having way more security than ever, but it was for their safety.

"She's not safe Zayn." Paul said looking at the door to make sure that Vesper wasn't hearing. "She's not safe anymore."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"They know where to find her every night." Paul said. "I can't expose her to be your opening act. Them are closer than never."

"But that means that Niall isn't safe either." Louis said.

"They will not touch any of you." Paul said. "They know it won't affect Vesper."

"Are you trying to imply that the feelings she has for me are fake?" Niall asked.

"No." Paul said. "But she can make them believe they are."

"But-" Liam started but was cut off by Vesper entering the room.

"Paul." Vesper said. "He wants to speak with you."

"Stay here." Paul said. "It includes you too Vesper."

Vesper nodded and went over to seat next to Niall. They hadn't had so much free time to simply spend together, due to the fact of the concerts and now the leak. Niall grabbed Vesper's hand, and she rested her head on his chest, snuggling, trying to catch some sleep.

"I still don't think this was a good idea Niall." Vesper said as they walked back to the hotel.

"I might not be, but we needed some time alone and Paul said it was alright." Niall replied.

"Yes, I'm aware of that Niall." Vesper said. "But I had to finish some investigation and stuff and they hack into another system to get some other answers, so that I could make a good report-" Vesper was cut off by Niall kissing her gently.

She had never told him before, but she quite enjoyed the way his kisses made her forget about everything and simply enjoy the moment.

"Vesper." Niall breather as he placed his forehead onto hers. "You're a teen, not a spy."

"I'm both." Vesper whispered. "I'm a teen who turned out to be a spy."

"You don't have to be a spy." Niall said. "Not anymore. Stop doing all those spy things and start acting like a normal teenager."

"Normal?" Vesper chuckled. "Do you live the normal teenage life? No! So you can't ask me to be normal, when you aren't yourself."

"Yes, but my life is closer to normal than yours." Niall attacked back.

"Maybe for you Niall." Vesper stated getting mad. "For you it might be normal to be surrounded by billions of girls and people following you around. But that isn't normal for me. What's normal for me it's to be sitting down, hacking into things, and climbing around buildings, trying so hard not to get killed and caught for a simple piece of paper. I'm sorry that my reality is so different then yours." Vesper said and walked back to the hotel leaving Niall alone.

Niall let out a frustrated sigh and ran his hand through his hair. He soon followed Vesper back to the hotel, not really caring who had seen the scene or anything.

"The blonde boy." Them said. "We need him as the new target, that way Vesper will do what we say."
